With the Saints staring at "cap Hell" next offseason... Let's look at the salaries.. (1 Viewer)

not to mention we will draft either a dlinemen or lb

Starter is relative.

Devery is not a key cog to the offense. If he walks, he walks. Assuming we adjust accordingly, we should be fine without him. Shanle isn't a starter anymore and has been a healthy scratch two weeks.

Will Smith, while a good player, is not a game changer anymore. Galette has had real success and not just on 3rd down duty. Assuming you draft a DE at some point as well, it just makes sense that Smith is gone at his salary. And I don't think we lose much if we adjust accordingly.

Herring is just a backup and expendable. Ellis will probably be back, just on a cheaper deal.

On that list, I don't buy that Harper goes anywhere. Maybe he restructures. But he's here next year.

Isn't that 40 mil gone for Brees next year?

after this season for Brees? Even if it's just down to 20 mil next season that's 20 mil gained back in the pot for the year. Can someone explain his signing bonus after this season?
